‘It’s like putting my face to bed” is how Swedish holistic nutritionist Lisa Gusto describes using our Radiance Facial Serum on her latest video blog. We do get some wonderful reviews of both our serums. And we really love reading them. Keep them coming!

Crushed walnut shell in a ‘dermatologist tested’ face scrub has led to a $4million lawsuit, with claims that it can cause micro-tears and long-term skin damage. Which shows that it makes sense to avoid all harsh abrasives.
